When he lashes out at a well-intentioned but insensitive teacher, he finds himself under a court-ordered house arrest. His mother continues to cope, working extra shifts to support herself and her son, as she tries in vain to understand the changes in his personality. The walls of his house begin to close in on Kale as he takes chancesto extend the boundaries both physical and emotional - of his confinement. His interests turn outside the windows of his suburban home toward those of his neighbors, including a mutual attraction to the new girl next door (Sarah Roemer). Together, they begin to suspect that another neighbor is a serial killer. Are their suspicions merely the product of Kale's cabin fever and vivid imagination? Orhave they unwittingly stumbled across a crime that could cost them their lives? Amazon.com: Alfred Hitchcock fans may experience déjà vu upon exposure to this voyeuristic thriller. That's because director DJ Caruso (The Salton Sea) and co-writer Carl Ellsworth (Red Eye) use Rear Window as a jumping-off point before cherry-picking from more recent scare fare, like The Blair Witch Project. In the prologue, 17-year-old Kale (Shia LaBeouf, Holes) loses his beloved father to a car crash. A year passes, and he's still on edge. When a teacher makes a careless remark about his dad, Kale punches him out, and is sentenced to house arrest. After his mom (Carrie-Anne Moss, Memento) takes away his Xbox and iTunes privileges, the suburban slacker spies on his neighbors to pass the time. In the process, he develops a crush on Ashley (Sarah Roemer, The Grudge 2), the hot girl next door, and becomes convinced that another, the soft-spoken Mr. Turner (David Morse, The Green Mile), is a serial killer. With the help of the flirtatious Ashley, practical joke-playing pal Ronnie (Aaron Yoo), and an array of high-tech gadgets, like cell-phone cameras and digital camcorders, Kale sets out to solve a major case without leaving his yard (a feat that would prove more challenging for a less affluent sleuth). In the end, it's pretty familiar stuff, but there are plenty of scares once Turner realizes he's being watched, and rising star LaBeouf, who next appears in Michael Bay's Transformers, makes for an engaging leading man--despite his character's propensity for slugging Spanish instructors. --Kathleen C. Fennessy Beyond Disturbia Why We Love Shia LaBeouf The Soundtrack Rear Window Stills from Disturbia (click for larger image) Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Highly enjoyable I can;t say that this movie was the best, but it was still very good and deserves a 4-star rating. Shia LeBeouf plays his role well as the frustrated and angry kid lashing out after what happened to his dad. Some later parts might feel campy to the viewer, but there were some humorous parts, and other suspenseful parts. One thing that struck me as odd was the large amount of space in the murderer's house as Shia goes to explore, the measurements just didn't add up to me since the space seemed much larger than it could fit between the house and garage or under it. But really, that's my only major nitpick of the film. If you like Shia Lebeouf, then you should enjoy his performance in this movie. Rating: - Surprising good I didn't expect much of this film when it came on TV the other night - I thought it would be another pathetic teen movie and that would be it...but I can admit when I am wrong. Kale was a surprising sympathetic character considering his situation of being under house arrest. Ronnie, his best friend, was entertaining and full of life - Ashley was of course the drop-dead gorgeous girl next door (my only complaint, the cast were rather "normal" people next door - why couldn't they cast a normal sized girl instead of one who looks like a model?). But that was perhaps my only critism of the movie. It was well paced, creepy in places and even during the climax had me fixated on the TV screen. Sure the story may not have been all that original but it was nice to watch a movie without hearing offensive language in every sentence or with overused blood and gore. This was a smart movie (expect for spying with the lights on...hmmm) that deserves to be watched at least once. Rating: - Disturbia (Full Screen Edition) After the death of his father in a car accident, Kale Brecht becomes a troublemaker and aggressive teenager. When he punches his Spanish teacher at school, he is sentenced to three months of house-arrest during his vacations. Kale snoops his neighbors with a binoculars and video camera for killing time, and becomes a voyeur of his next door neighbor Ashley Carlson. When Ashley sees Kale and his friend Ronnie at the window, he tells out of the blue that their neighbor Robert Turner seems to be a wanted serial killer from Austin, Texas. The trio sneaks around his house, and Kale begins to suspect that Mr. Turner might really be the murderer. This movie has a realistic feel of how creepy it would be to have a serial killer living across the street from you and you had no way to prove it. Everything in this movie is done well. The writing, the directing, the way it all pans out. Disturbia also once again proves that you don't need a bunch of gore to make an effective horror thriller. Rating: - Terrible Ending If there is anything worse than a bad movie, it is a great movie with a bad ending. This film started out with a Hitchcockian bang, complete with suspense, tension and decent acting. No blood. No gore or violence. Just chills and edge of the seat excitement. Though reminiscent of Hitchcock's Rear Window, it had enough originality and surprises to keep me guessing. The film, however, took a drastic 180-degree spin at the end, turning the movie into a typical slasher-type movie, complete with a long and drawn out foray through a creepy, dark, hidden basement. Though I won't reveal the ending in this review, I will say that it didn't live up to the first three-quarters of the film. There were so many possible endings for this movie, endings that could have done the film proud. At least if the movie is bad, we can shut it off, sparing us a wasted two hours. But when the movie is good and it leads us by the nose to a horrible, cheap finale, it leaves the viewer frustrated and disappointed. Rent it before you buy, but don't expect a satisfying end. It simply isn't there. It might even leave you a bit nauseous. Rating: - Good plot, and action. When I ordered this film, I was really not sure it was my kind of film. I was surprised. see more
